Oh Christmas Tree

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here with a Christmas Tree to share.    Who doesn't love decorating for Christmas?  Using assorted tools, you can create an amazing decorative element that is perfect for smaller spaces. 

Supplies:
Proxxon Scroll Saw
Proxxon Bench Drill Press
Plaid Ultra Dye

 I began by drawing the pattern on plywood, then used the Scroll Saw to cut the pattern.

I painted the tree with white paint then used the Bench Drill Press to drill holes around the tree for Christmas lights.

To create texture, I adhered gauze to the tree, then painted with Plaid Ultra Dye.

 I had to redrill some of the holes that I covered with the dyed gauze.

 Then I inserted lights from behind.

Thanks for stopping by.
